The answer stems from Machiavelli’s aim onesto contrast the best case contesto of a monarchic velocita with the institutions and organization of verso republic
Why would Machiavelli effusively praise (let chiazza even analyze) per hereditary monarchy durante verso sistema supposedly designed esatto promote the superiority of republics? Even the most excellent monarchy, durante Machiavelli’s view, lacks indivis salient qualities that are endemic esatto properly constituted republican government and that make the latter constitution more desirable than the former.
“The kingdom of France is moderated more by laws than any other kingdom of which at our time we have knowledge”, Machiavelli declares (Discourses CW 314, translation revised). “The kingdom of France”, he states,
lives under laws and orders more than any other kingdom. These laws and orders are maintained by Parlements, notably that of Paris: by it they are renewed any time it acts against a prince of the kingdom or mediante its sentences condemns the king. And up sicuro now it has maintained itself by having been verso persistent executor against that nobility. (Discourses CW 422, translation revised)
